Scott-Free

by John Hope

While grocery shopping at Food Tiger Superstore, Mom gives Scott a simple pick up some bologna from the deli. But with a little convincing from a fellow 11-year-old boy named Cool, the two boys set out on a whirlwind adventure of getting free cookies and juice throughout the store while trying not to get caught by Mom. But their fun ends with a massive store fire that requires the boys to perform heroic acts to save others and themselves.

This middle grade adventure is a non-stop, action-packed story with hilarious characters and surprising touching moments that will tickle your funny bone and provide instant relief from the craziness of life.

John Hope's fertile imagination will have youngsters (and quite a few adults) lol-ing from cover to cover of his latest offering, "Scott Free". Who knew you could have so many close scrapes and crazy adventures during a single trip to a supermarket? Can't recommend it enough.

I spotted a couple of punctuation issues in Chapter 12, but otherwise the writing is as slick and flowing as ever.

I'm really looking forward to my next voyage into John Hope's wacky world. But until then, I'm off to start an autonomous collective...
